Saija | Dega & Wolisho by Haji Betro - Ethiopia

The latest from Saija in Victoria, British Columbia.

Saija is just the type of micro roaster we love. Partners Sage and Aija are the reason why we love coffee and the industry it brings. Passionate people, creating incredible things. Clean, crisp, lightly roasted incredible coffee - perfect.

When we honour the practices that shape our human experience - appreciating even the smallest moments - we become fully present in our lives.

Saija embodies this philosophy by sourcing & roasting beautiful coffees and honouring the value behind them - so your daily ritual is simple and sacred. 

Welcome to KNIFE, Saija Coffee.

A delicate & floral washed-processed coffee with a tea-like aroma produced by Haji Betro Station in West Arsi, Ethiopia. 

Delicate & floral sweetness, tea-like aroma, & silky structure. 

Haji Betro

This washing station is located on the edge of the Bale Mountain forest, which has abundant rainfall at the beginning of the season, giving the coffee cherries perfect growing conditions. 

This coffee was processed by more than 742 smallholder farmers from neighbouring villages around the Haji Betro Washing Station. Each farm averages 1 to 2 hectares in size. 

Coffee cherries are picked and delivered to Haji Betro Station for processing. The coffee undergoes 72 hours of fermentation before being washed and dried for 14 days. 

"Honoring your daily rituals" - definitely something we can get behind.
